Im thinking that he's our life's time Mozart. They only show up once in a generation. Im glad to be alive to hear this spirit.

I don't know if you realize just how good you are.., not just your technique, but your 'ear' ... your phrasing ... that RANGE .... that 'bottom' is so rich and fluid ... that while you're singing, we forget you're still accompanying yourself ... Just SUBLIME.

I've been listening to "In My Room" all day and watching this is like pulling the curtain back on the Wizard of Oz only to find a real deal wizard.

This is the same vein of blood flowing from Debussy, Revel, Scriabin, to Bill Evans, Fred Hersch, and now Jacob Collier. Except he has now all the high tech and HD recording! Indeed, a giant to come.

It is seldom when someone comes along who's so far beyond the spectrum of good that he's in another universe.

I love how he seems to have captured the romanticism of the old jazz standards, think I know what I mean.

Mad genius. Even his outfit says so.

Goodness gracious. Genius so grand it feels like Nature: This is a rendition not to be compared with other songs but with sunsets and fallen Autumn leaves graciously painting air currents on a windy afternoon.

Those patchwork trousers of his again! I'm not sure I've ever encountered an artist who is so utterly individualistic in expression as Jacob. His knowledge of harmony is staggeringly advanced for one so young, and his vocal range is pretty amazing even when he's stripped of his usual vocoders!

Collier is amazing on every level. He's mastered technology, but even more important, he's mastered musicianship and has tapped into it to unveil his inspired artistry. He has a vast amount of knowledge of harmony and melody, can play multiple instruments very well, and can takes inspiration from multiple genres of music. The world needs more like him, especially as so many narrow the input they receive from various sources.

Not that I don't love the album version, but this is really stunning stripped down like that.

How does one guy have so much talent? This is mesmerising and he makes it look so effortless. He's a savant.

This kid is gonna reach a sky full of stars and then much higher.

To make something complex seem simple is his gift.

I would love to see more of his music with just piano and voice. I love ALL his stuff....but this is beyond. I could listen all day..and I have been, on repeat.

I always hope young men like this raise the collective consuming and listening DNA.

there are so many young male singers whose falsetto get irritate me indescribably ...but Jacob's falsetto especially along with his stunning LOW... it is simply marvelous

Beauty and imagination to get lost in. You can feel the anglo-irish folk tune tradition. Refined by a most tasteful jazzification. Pat Metheny may be one of his influences.

Having him score a Miyazaki film would be awesome

I come back to this song every now and then. I don’t think there’s a more beautiful version of it anywhere.

my favourite version of this song so far. its not possible to find words. still trying i'd say it touches an elusive layer of my being, colouring me exhilarated reassured inspired satisfied yearning understood encouraged accompagnied opened unafraid and loving.

I could listen to this all day! Melting with the beautiful chords and incredible vocal!

I love just hearing the clarity and range of his voice in this stripped down version! his piano playing is impeccable as always but hearing the versatility and control he has of his voice was incredible! it really shows off his artistry and came off as more genuine and vulnerable to me. bravo!

He makes me feel alive with his amazing energy!

One of the most amazing solo performances I've ever seen, sublime is the word that comes to mind, what a beautiful vibe here.....this touches the soul, makes you think (of wonder!)

Blowing my mind....the level of depth, skill, insight and technique in one so young...my soul is smiling!

Jacob is 22, so not really a 'boy-wonder'. Just because he doesn't look more than 17 is 'neither here nor there'. Jacob is now a professional musician of the greatest sophistication, originality and mature taste. Hearing this, we already know how world-famous he is certain to become.

so gorgeous... a song to truly lose yourself in.. you are one with sound and expression, my friend..

So cool to see a pair of SM57's on a grand piano!

finally his voice without harmonizers

So amazing.

simply amazing

this is superb.

I like this version way more than the regular one.

Just incredible....I'm speechless !

so pure so uplifting

I love that guy! Omg. Im crying. 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Im so grateful for your magic Jacob!!!!

you melt my inner core

Magnificent. Astonishing. Superb.

Simplemente genial!!!

This sent shivers up and down my spine.

quite simply a remarkable musician...superb .

I always enjoyed your Music. Thank you for living in the same time as You !

Simply stunning and awe inspiring.

I'm so glad I stumbled across this amazing musician. I will enjoy listening to his calming pieces before sleeping.

A very special gifted and talented musician.Wow! I am blown away

love all he is! amszing!

This is why we love this music.

Pure Genius I’m speechless and tearing up😭😭

lindíssima música, fiquei impressionado, parabéns !!!

This is fantastic. I remember seeing him a few years back at Ronnie Scott's with his band supporting Jason Rebello - and it was an acoustic jazz setup and phenomenal. I do enjoy his electronic multi layer style too, but really think when stripped back like this his talents shine through much clearer and are transmitted to the listener much more directly.

I love you Jacob!

How can so much musical talent exist in one person?! He is such a musical genius!

Fuck, I love stripped-down Jacob Collier. I love his music, but sometimes it's so technically perfect that it straddles the line between talent and gimmick. Here, you can actually hear a couple subpar notes and imperfections and for me it makes it 10× better than when every detail is perfectly engineered. I listen to this like twice a day.

So chill

you're doing it ! youre doing it!!

so good

Pure beauty

Amazing

1:36 when he goes down. Shivers down my spine.

just bought the album!

an absolute genius

6:16...This chord....From heaven

He’s the nearest I’ve ever to Bill Evans. Genius❤

This crazy

Goals

Tete ets una passada, joan, Catalonia free,💕💕❤️

Lots of people criticize the guys musical choices, including myself in a lot of cases. Some of it I don’t get at all. But the one thing you have to give him at the very least is that he isn’t prideful or boastful; he is happy to say that every musician makes choices that not everyone will like. And it doesn’t seem to be in the sense of justifying, ex post facto, any music that isn’t good. It’s a pre-emptive understanding that choices are made in a vast landscape that not everyone will understand at any given time. And I’ve gone through the experience many times where I didn’t like something at first. And then at some point for whatever reason, I came to really like it a lot. Many of the greats were never appreciated in their time, but this also doesn’t mean that they kid should be degraded by the degree to which he isn’t being appreciated. All of these ways by which people attempt to guide their thinking about this are like a sort of math in a non-mathematical setting.

omgggggg!!!!!

👏👏👏👏👏👏

Someone trascribe this please!!!

I sell a Steinway and Sons. Ideal to start a fire in a fireplace. I also sell vocal cords, perfect to call the sheeps in the high mountains.

this mans pants

Can anyone ID that t shirt? It's sick!

has anyone got a transcribtion of this?

O M G

What about tuning the piano before making a recording? Happily Jacob is even able to use this sounding bathtub to produce his very personal sound.

Has a similar voice to Roland Orzabal of Tears For Fears.

i lost myself for a minute

June Lee I summon you

and eventually the Music became human...

Jarrett-esque

You are the shit man!

Oh my god that reharmonization

Mozart comparison does not give him justice but see where they are coming from, a once in a generation force of nature.

dude, what are you wearing??

LOVE HIM but wtf is he wearing?

Stereo sm57's on the piano???? C'mon guys.....

Are the 22 disliking people deaf?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

0:23 wrong chord

😂😂😂what the fuck

What an extremely talented individual, probably having perfect pitch and knowing his music theory, but the genre does nothing for me. Something is missing, but what?

He sings in woman range. But you know what's special? Women don't sound like this in high ranges. Men sound better

wtf was this on my suggestions for? its verbal dihorea to my ears!!!!
